Review the archived document carefully
The linked technical data sheet is dated June 2007. It provides historical product information; its wash figures or standards should not be presented as current specifications without confirming documents for the material and lot being supplied.
Define the strip construction
Mark strip width, length and placement on the drawing. A segmented strip should not automatically be treated as a film suitable for every fine logo detail. Send artwork at actual size for the proposed cutting and application method to be reviewed.

Validate the substrate and care process
Evaluate the material on the actual substrate and at the intended position. Review appearance, edge adhesion and performance after the proposed care process. Application settings must follow the documents for the exact code, the equipment and the sample results. Record the approved material code and lot before production.
